Teen Hero Program
Real Men, Real Heroes created the Teen Hero program in 2009, responding to a demand for younger role models they encountered during visits to Wichita public schools. Teen Heroes are selected from Wichita's public high schools during the spring of their junior year to serve during their senior year in high school. Teens are chosen based on their personal and academic achievements, but also for their ability to convey a message of inspiration to younger children and teens.
